Rope swing fail of the century

In dumbass fails of the day, these two dudes decided it would be a great idea to film an epic rope swing manoeuvre in the middle of nowhere, presumably so they could be praised by legions of typically brutal online commenters as brave Internet #WIN gods (it’s a thing). Instead, the dude who swung off the rope decided to let go midway through to gracefully dismount like Gabrielle Douglas. Instead he landed on his back. That’s the first 15 seconds of the video. The next 30 seconds are consumed by the newly christened #FAIL maestro trying not to yack on the ground.
